The school expressed joy over the performance of its candidates, after the West African Examination Council (WAEC), on August 8, 2020 relocated the examination center from its premises to Ofori Panin Senior High School over misconduct of a handful of candidates.
Bright SHS, in a press release, recounted that a year after the relocation, candidates of the school continued to excel in the WASSCE.
The release contended that analysis of the provisional results for the 2021 WASSCE indicates that 80% of the about 800 candidates presented garnered ‘8As’ to ‘5As’ in various subjects, while those who had 4As to 2As represent 15%.
Thus, candidates who had only one grade ‘A’ were 5%. In English Language, 42% of the candidates had A1, while 37% secured B2. Candidates who had B3 and C4-C6 were 16% and 5% respectively. 98% of the candidates had A1 in Core Mathematics, whilst 1.2% had B2.
With regards to Integrated Science, 99% of the candidates secured grade A1, while 0.4 % had B2. A proportion of 0.1% had grade B3, whilst the rest had C4 to C6.

The Administrator of the school, Jones Yeboah, said: “Following the unfortunate incident which happened in 2020, we lost our Examination Center status, hence, WAEC relocated our center to OPASS. We believe it was a challenge for us to prove to the world that, indeed, our excellent performance in WASSCE over the years have been purely on merit of investment into quality tuition, ICT and Science Laboratory and human resources, i.e. qualified teachers who are committed to go the extra mile to meet the needs and understanding of our student.
